Today CfaN history was made! This morning was the grand finale of our Fire Conference here in Ibadan, Nigeria. Fire Conferences are events for registered delegates only—primarily pastors, bishops, and church leadership. This morning over 150,000 delegates attended, making it the largest Fire Conference in history! Peter Vandenberg, John Darku (African Director), Levi Lutz (CfaN Bootcamp Director), and I were the preachers, but the ministry team consisted of more than 100 CfaN Bootcamp students graduates and coaches.
The word about what Jesus is doing has gone out across Ibadan, Nigeria. The whole town is buzzing. The crowd grew substantially tonight, and there was a palpable sense of expectation and faith. As I preached the Gospel, you could hear a pin drop. The people were drinking in the Word of God. When I gave them an opportunity to respond, they broke the doors down, rushing into the Kingdom of God. What a joy to be a proclaimer of Good News in the season of harvest!
I'm writing from Ibadan, Nigeria, where the first night of our crusade here has just come to a close. It's been almost two years since we have been in Nigeria. What a joy to be back! The hunger and faith of the Nigerians inspire me.
Week 2 of the Bootcamp Initiation is complete! We continue to see an incredible harvest of salvation and healing as the Gospel is preached (even before our massive Gospel Crusade that starts Thursday in Ibadan).
The first week of the CfaN Bootcamp Initiation is complete and week two is underway! In the first week alone, we’ve documented hundreds of thousands of salvations!!
BREAKING NEWS: Watch this news report about our recent Operation Decapolis Campaign in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania! Where we saw 210,553 decisions made for Jesus and this is only the beginning!
It’s not the first time CfaN has been to Ibadan, Nigeria’s third-largest city. We held massive campaigns there in 1990, 2001 and 2009. The last two saw some of the largest crowds in CfaN history. In fact, in the 2001 campaign, there were 1.3 million people in a single service. That’s a sight – and sound – that is unforgettable.
